The software did a decent job on the addition and subtraction. It failed when adding a long-term capital loss to to my numbers for next year. There was another failure somewhere because I tried to file the return electronically, and it repeatedly bounced from the IRS website telling my to check the software for the problem. The HRb software didn't help at all. I ended up filing by snail mail and the IRS accepted it.
Pros: Easy to prepare
Cons: Time consuming, Doesn't maximize refund, Hard to import documents
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've been using your Deluxe tax software for many years, but am getting increasingly annoyed by things like having to reenter drivers license info between the Fed and State forms. Nonsense- fix that! Also, the last few years have been a major pain in terms of entering and differentiating between federally tax free and state tax free interest income. I've had to go over and over the actual forms and worksheets to push and pull values to get it right. I have a worksheet fixed and then a HRB dialog box comes up with a totally different tax free value. Also, most of your "Help" menus and suggestions are useless at this level.
Cons: Time consuming, Hard to import documents

H&R Block Deluxe is reasonably easy to use and priced consistently with prior years. This year I had some difficulties with the Ohio tax return causing the federal to not e-file.

About the only plus this year was that I was familiar with the product. It seemed to import much less information than in previous years which is my reason for two stars.

Software worked easily. One problem: I checked the box that said send a check with my refund. 2 weeks after I filed I received a request for my banking info for direct deposit. I double checked to make sure I designated a refund check. Is this a problem with Blocks software?
Pros: Easy to prepare, Maximizes refund, Fast
